type Bugs → Feature Requests
component hash → range

That's a bug fix, iterator_range has an implicit conversion to bool, which is why is was hashing - you really don't want that because it will only hash to 0 or 1. So it might have worked, but you get terrible performance for more than a few items.

If you want hashing support for iterator_range it will need to be added to that library. For an example of how to do that, open boost/array.hpp and search for 'hash'. It shouldn't be too hard to implement.
